[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen 3.0 installation and Gentoo packages

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Graham,

I'll let others answer most of your questions, but in answer to your 
first question:

> First question: Are git://git.evergreen-ils.org/OpenSRF.git and
> git://git.evergreen-ils.org/Evergreen.git the repositories for Evergreen 3.0
> and the associated version of OpenSRF?
git://git.evergreen-ils.org/Evergreen.git is the master version of 
Evergreen which will eventually become Evergreen 3.0. However, there is 
no Evergreen 3.0 yet and there won't be one until September when the 
beta version of 3.0 is scheduled to be released. You certainly can run 
Evergreen master rather than an official release - I've known a couple 
of other systems that have done so in the past. However, I also wanted 
to point out that you can run the 2.12 release with the web client. 
There is no need to use the xul client on the 2.12 release if that is 
your primary reason for looking at 3.0.

Whatever direction you choose, good luck with your trials!

Kathy
